Reunion (OT)

I was shopping today and as I got out of my car there was someone standing
right there. It was someone I worked with until recently.
She told me I looked "fabulous, all the strain and worry from your face has
gone"
She is also taking my route and will be out of there in a few weeks even
though like me she is not old enough to retire. Like myself she does not
like what is happening with the government cuts and has lost the will to do
the job.
The workload is tremendous, unmanagable.

It's such a shame. She is a really good social worker.
There will be no-one any good left soon if this carries on.

I'm really glad I got out when I did. I understand that our prevous govt
overspent but really, the new one cannot cut everything which they seem to
be doing.

No need to reply, just venting.

Sadly, a lot of people are really going to suffer due to the cuts this
government is making, and I believe lives will be lost too. :-(

I'm going to add to your vent if I may?

I can't see why this govt. is cutting everything. They say that the
private sector businesses will make up the lost jobs. How they are going
to do that when most people are cutting their spending, not only those who
have or are about to lose their jobs but everyone else because they know
they could be next. If teachers, doctors, nurses, police, ambulance staff,
firemen and women, not to mention the forces, oh, and the people who would
be making the equipment for them, are not secure, then they are obviously
not going to but new houses, carpets furniture, cars or anything else.
That puts more people out of work. Soon we'll have more people claiming
unemployment benefit than paying income tax. Oh, and the statement made
recently that they have now realised that the poorest people are the one's
most suffering from the govt. policies made my blood boil and had me
shouting at the television again. Just when I thought I'd conquered that
habit.

The thing is that I made a good decision for myself. The other thing is that
the govt seem to have to make these cuts and both myself & my colleague know
this is a bad thing, so we are out from their idea.
I never realised until she said that I looked worried and strained, looking
back, I probably did.
Not now though!

You are probably right.

Here's something I saw on Facebook yesterday, that lays it all out
in black and white. It's about gov't spending and cutting patterns in
the US, but the principle still applies.

I do frugal for myself but this does not extend to Boyfriend. He gets
everything he needs. Fortunately he likes Whiskas pouches so it does not
break the bank. Good job he has not noticed all the other better foodies
available on the internet ;-)
